I have the following situation: a script that calculates charges based on days (subtracting 3 free days) there are occurrences where the 3 days may span more than 1 month I have two files the days spanning to the next month, the current month file I need to be able to take the data from the file that has spanned from the previous month to the current month and overwrite the free days in the current month calculations

file1 (days from previous month) BIGCO-C CMO 15153 L 6/30/13 2 BIGCO-C MKT 575 L 6/30/13 2 BIGCO-C MP 706776 L 6/30/13 2 BIGCO-C MP 718037 L 6/30/13 2 BIGCO-C MP 718071 L 6/30/13 2 MEDCO-C UP 89269 L 6/30/13 2 MEDCO-C UP 89800 L 6/30/13 2 MEDCO-C UP 93068 L 6/30/13 2 PURRCO-C UP 89778 L 6/30/13 2 WILYCO-C CMO 15034 L 6/30/13 2 WILYCO-C MKT 546 L 6/30/13 2 WILYCO-C MP 705339 L 6/30/13 1 WILYCO-C MP 705693 L 6/30/13 2

(the end column number is the days that have already been used) so the number needs to be subtracted by 3 and and excluded from the charges in my script just don't know how to make it happen
