Hmm, by adding:

/sitedynamics.com.au/

just before the {  after the BEGIN { } block, you can do away with the 
grep too, thus saving further system resources by only doing one pipe.

So the start of the script would then look like:

BEGIN {
   FS=" "
}
/sitedynamics.com.au/ {
   numstr=$11;


And you'd run it like:

ls -la | awk -f parse.awk

See only one pipe :)
