#' @title Print metabCombiner Report to File.
#'
#' @description Prints a \code{combinedTable} report to a file, specified by
#'              \code{file} argument. Output file has an empty line between
#'              each separate m/z group for ease of viewing.
#'
#' @param object  \code{metabCombiner} object or \code{combinedTable}
#'
#' @param file character string naming the output file path
#'
#' @param sep   Character field separator. Values within each row are separated
#'              by this character.
#'
#' @return no values returned
