HTML or XML local file editor

Hi Everyone,
I have been searching around the modules, and am not real sure if what I am looking for exists. Perhaps someone can help me out.
I work with a number of flash components within my Drupal sites. Many of these use XML to modify various elements within the flash. What I want to be able to do is edit and modify these XML files (which are locally stored on the server). Basically, I am looking for a way to have complete site manipulation of both the drupal site and the flash components within the site from within the administer side of the Drupal site.
Does a module that will do this for 6.x exist?
If I need to clarify, please let me know. I have tried to explain in the best way I can.
Thanks!
Any Ideas?
Hey everyone,
I am touching base again. Does anyone have thoughts on how I can go about doing this? I guess it is really as easy as opening, editing, and saving a text file (from the files on the server) using the Drupal backend. Perhaps this is not so simple? Thoughts?
Thanks for your help!

I am guessing this is not possible. Could someone confirm?
I've never seen a module that
I've never seen a module that does that (there may be one that I haven't seen. I don't know them all!). But you could create this if you wanted to.
You would have to first set the directory where the xml files are stored. Then you would use glob() to get the filenames of all the files in that directory. You can then use those filenames to build a list of linkable filenames, that when clicked would open up the file into a textarea. You do the edits inside the textarea, click save and in your submit function, you overwrite the current xml file with the new one.
You would probably want to use a code highlighting module as well in order to make your code a little easier to read inside the textarea.

Thanks for your help here Jay, I have not yet attempted to build my own module, but now is as good a time as any I suppose.
Thanks again!
