Bash, convert IP address in batch

I wanna convert a list of domain to the IP address using bash scripts in OSX.

I created a list file to present the domain line by line like this

www.google.com
www.yahoo.com
www.facebook.com

I used the following scripts to lookup the IP address:

#!/bin/bash
while read -r domain
do
    echo `dig +short $domain` 
done < list

where list is a file that contains those domain.

However, it end up only show a empty string.

But when I only query one domain, the command is okay.

dig +short www.google.com
> 216.58.221.132

Hope anyone can help me to figure out the problem. Thanks!

dig has the -f command line option to read a list of domain names from a file. From the manpage,

The -f option makes dig operate in batch mode by reading a list of lookup requests to process from the file filename. The file contains a number of queries, one per line. Each entry in the file should be organized in the same way they would be presented as queries to dig using the command-line interface.

Running

dig +short -f list

where the file named list contains

www.google.com
www.yahoo.com
www.facebook.com

will give you output like

74.125.239.114
74.125.239.112
74.125.239.116
74.125.239.113
74.125.239.115
fd-fp3.wg1.b.yahoo.com.
206.190.36.45
206.190.36.105
