A wrapper around write.csv and saveRDS

write_out(
  object,
  add_date = FALSE,
  output_directory = NULL,
  file_type = "RDS",
  custom_name = NULL
)

`object`	the object to be saved
`add_date`	should the date be added to the end of the file name?
`output_directory`	should the output be saved to a particular directory (default to working directory)
`file_type`	should the file be saved as RDS or csv (default RDS)
`custom_name`	should a custom name be used instead of the objects' name

This function provides consistent saving. By default the file will be saved with the name of the name of the object.

The format of the date is _(day)_(month)_(year)
