gsub()可以用于字段的删减、增补、替换和切割，可以处理一个字段也可以处理由字段组成的向量。
具体的使用方法为：gsub("目标字符", "替换字符", 对象)
在gsub函数中，任何字段处理都由将“替换字符”替换到“目标字符”这一流程中实现，令替换字符为''''可实现删除，令替换字符为"目标字符+增补内容"可实现增补，替换和切割也是使用类似的操作。
> text <- "AbcdEfgh . Ijkl MNM"
> gsub("Efg", "AAA", text) #将Efg改为AAA，区分大小写
[1] "AbcdAAAh . Ijkl MNM"
任何符号，包括空格、Tab和换行都是可以识别的
> gsub(" I", "i", text) #可识别空格
[1] "AbcdEfgh .ijkl MNM"
同时字符可以识别多个，进行批量置换
> gsub("M", "N", text)
[1] "AbcdEfgh . Ijkl NNN"
除此之外，gsub还有其他批量操作的方法
> gsub("^.* ", "a", text) #开头直到最后一个空格结束替换成a
[1] "aMNM"
> gsub("^.* I(j).*$", "\\1", text) #只保留一个j
[1] "j"
> gsub(" .*$", "b", text) #第一个空格直达结尾替换成b
[1] "AbcdEfghb"
> gsub("\\.", "\\+", text) #句号.和加号+是特殊的，要添加\\来识别
[1] "AbcdEfgh + Ijkl MNM"
