monthly calculation

[neoplot]

pls can anyone help me with this script, the script is below, i need the script to get the previous month result every new month , the problem is that the loop has to be automated to always calculate for previous month .

a=`date "+%Y"` #this year to be used

b=$(date "+%Y%m" --date='49 days ago') #previous month with year to be used

for i in 49 48 47 46 45 44 43 42 41 40 39 38 37 35 34 33 32 31 30 29 28 27 26 25 24 23 22 21 20 19

do

g=$(date "+%Y%m%d" --date=''$i' days ago') # n days ago to be used

h="lic"$g*405*.txt #the file name

cd /home/file/lic$a/$b #the directory

#---------- Count information----------#

cat $h|awk -F '|' '$4 ~ /^700[0]/ && $9 == '0' { print $0 }'|awk -F '|' '{ b = count[$1]++; }''{ print b }' >> result$b.txt

done
