I'm thinking I could possibly do this in Automator, but I can't seem to figure out how. Here's specifically what I want to do.

I have two files:
filename_15.jpeg
1 - filename_15.tiff

I want Automator to search for a string of text in a filename, say no less than 5 or six characters, and if there are two files that match that criteria, it will rename the shorter one with whatever the name is of the larger one. Maybe there's a way to better explain that, but that's the ultimate goal. Is this possible in Automator?
