I am trying to check for backslashes in data, then remove them when I  
find them, but am having a difficult time figuring out the best way to  
do it.  I know the backslash is the escape character in R, and I  
should be able to use 'gsub' to accomplish this, but I all I seem to  
be getting are errors.  For example:

If entry is:
"Hello\World"

I want:
"HelloWorld"

There are several entries with backslashes, and I need to find them  
and delete them.  All help is welcome, thank you.
