Bash Script Improvement

[Netshroud]

Hey all,

I'm trying to convert a Squid3 log to mimic my Netgear WGR614v8 on stock firmware. So far what I have is as follows. (It may have a typo, I retyped it here instead of copying from a different machine)

FILE=/var/log/squid3/access/log

exec 0<$FILE
while read line; do
    TIME=`echo $line | gawk '{ print strftime("%c", $1) }'`
    IP=`echo $line | awk '{ print $3 }'`
    DOMAIN=`echo $line | awk '{ print $7 }' | cut -d '/' -f 3 | sed 's/^www\.//'`
    echo [Site allowed: ${DOMAIN}] from source ${IP}, $TIME
done

Is there a more efficient way to do this?

I am not much of a programmer but you could implement some arrays and a for loop to make the code more efficient.

I'd rather keep it in bash to keep it portable.

The code will still be portable. you are only change the structure of the code a bit to make it more efficient.
