'gsub' removes all of the semi-colons and quotation marks from the  
string.  Technically, it replaces anything that mathces the first  
regular expression (semi-colon or quotation mark) with the second  
string (null).  That command took the place of 'tr -d "\""|tr -d ";"'  
in the shell command line.
