Concat required

Hi Folks
The below is code is giving me value 30.

cal | sed '/^$/d' | tail -1 | awk '{printf $NF-1}'

Actually the text is like below.

echo "you should reply on 30-Jan-2013 evening EST.

Here how should i con-cat above logic in that text?

Quick and dirty:

echo "You should reply on $(date "+$(cal|awk 'NF{l=$NF}END{print l-1}')-%b-%Y") evening EST"
