Creating actions to save files

Question

Hello all,
I want to have an action that takes the input file and creates a JPEG for web and places it in the same folder that the input file is located.  Is this possible? Normally, when creating an action to Save for Web, it will save the file in a single specific location, but I need to have it save to whatever folder the original file is in, no matter where that file is.
Secondly, is it possible to make the action add text to the end of the filename?  I would like it to add the text "-web" to the end of the file.
I hope that's clear, let me know.  Thanks for your time, everyone.

This is where a script comes in.
This should do it...
#target photoshop
function main(){
if(documents.length){
var newName = decodeURI(activeDocument.name).match(/(.*)\.[^\.]+$/)[1];
newName = newName +"-web.jpg";
var saveFile = File(decodeURI(activeDocument.path) +"/"+ newName);
if(saveFile.exists){
var result = Window.confirm("This File Exits!\nWould You Like It Overwritten?", true, "File Exists");
if(!result) return;
saveFile.remove();
SaveForWeb(saveFile,80); //Change quality to suit
main();
function SaveForWeb(saveFile,jpegQuality) {
var sfwOptions = new ExportOptionsSaveForWeb();
   sfwOptions.format = SaveDocumentType.JPEG;
   sfwOptions.includeProfile = false;
   sfwOptions.interlaced = 0;
   sfwOptions.optimized = true;
   sfwOptions.quality = jpegQuality; //0-100
activeDocument.exportDocument(saveFile, ExportType.SAVEFORWEB, sfwOptions);
