Welcome!

First, check out [how to quote your code with backticks](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/psa-how-to-quote-code-with-backticks/7530) to maintain readability.

The issue is that your iterator `for i in notes` means that each `i` is the element of `notes`. So what you want is

```julia
for i in notes # or for note in notes
println(f, i)
end

```

Or if you want to iterate through the indices of `notes`, you can use the function `eachindex`

```julia
for i in eachindex(notes)
println(f, notes[i])
end

```
