You might want to replace the OR function "||" by an ELSE functoin ","
Do[If[gsub[[n]]==1,gsub[[n]]=4,
If[gsub[[n]]==2,gsub[[n]]=3,
If[gsub[[n]]==3,gsub[[n]]=2,
If[gsub[[n]]==4,gsub[[n]]=1]
]
]
], {n,1,Length[gsub]}]
You also can do the following:
" Map[ 5-#&, gsub] " which is the same as " 5-#&/@gsub "
