This is for a simple dropbox backup program that runs automatically once a week on tuesday. (Note this is on MacOS rather than Linux)
The code for the first month is below.
Basically, the code checks to see if the current year exists. If it doesn't it creates and enters it, if it does it enters it.
It then creates all the months (if they already exist it does nothing)
Finally, it checks to see if weeks 1-4 exist and if one doesn't then it creates it and makes the backup there.
However, only in an ideal world does each month have 4 weeks in it (for instance Jan 2017 has 5 Tuesdays) so how could I change the code so it automatically knows how many times to back up within that month?
