Being a theoretical question as opposed to a real how-to question, what are you already doing to process the first file? Bear in mind that what you're asking for is more of a framework question than it is a scripting issue.
There are plenty of ways to skin the cat, but which way have you started to do it? No sense in us providing a method that doesn't fit your approach.

-weekstart day
Specify which day of the week should be considered the beginning of the week when generating reports. day should be a number
between 0 and 6, where 0 is Sunday. For example, the command
