You can extract data using Regex post processor and save it to a variable.

Simple data writer, Flexible data writer, Save results to a file all these can write predefined variables, responses to a file in a fixed or little bit customizable format but won't let you write your custom variables.

For writing it to a file you need to use Beanshell processor. Sample code would be,

username = vars.get("username");
password = vars.get("password");

f = new FileOutputStream("/path/user_details.csv", true);
p = new PrintStream(f); 
this.interpreter.setOut(p); 
print(username + "," + password);
f.close();
