Just to clarify, I want a way to tell how many files (which each correspond to a day) there are for each month. Just to note, not all days have files, so I can't just assume that there are 28 files for February for example.

and I misspoke in my original post when I said how I used n_elements. It was used to tell the number of elements in an array. not the number of files.
