[R] Export the result k-means cluster to CSV file

Depends what you want.
You can save the whole object for reloading using save()

The cluster members can be written to text files using write(cl$cluster, file="<some file name>").
The whole thing can be written, without names, using something like

lapply(cl, write, file="cluster.txt", append=TRUE)
#Using cl from the first example in ?kmeans

If you need sensible breaks and names in the file, you'll have to roll your own alternative write routines. For example

Write <- function(NN, x, filename="cluster.txt", ...) {
	write(NN, filename, append=TRUE, ...)
	write(x[[NN]], filename, append=TRUE, ...)
	cat("\n", file=filename, append=TRUE, ...)
}

lapply(names(cl), Write, x=cl, filename="myclust.txt")

(Ignore the NULLs returned)

Anything more structured than that and you'll have to write a write.kmeans replacement for write that structures the results as you need them later.
