Here is how I would implement it:

{noformat}
public static String escapeXPath(final String text) {
  return new StringBuilder(Tv.FIFTY + text.length())
    .append("concat('")
    .append(text.replace("\'", "', \"'\", '"))
    .append("')")
    .toString();
}
{noformat}

> Would be great to create a method that would escape a string for XPath. It is a well known problem that XPath doesn't have a mechanism for quotes escaping. See for example http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14822153/escape-single-quote-in-xpath-with-nokogiri
> A very good workaround suggested here https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=51785
> Would be great to add a method to StringEscapeUtils
