Demonstrates how to extract the signature value from signed XML. Swift

    // There are a number of ways we can get the contents of the  <ds:SignatureValue>...</ds:SignatureValue>

    var filePath: String? = "qa_data/xml_dsig_testing/sample_to_show_how_to_extract_sig.xml"

    // If you know there will only be a single SignatureValue in the XML, you don't need to parse XML.
    // Just do quick and simple string search..
    // For example:
    let sb = CkoStringBuilder()!
    success = sb.loadFile(path: filePath, charset: "utf-8")
    if success == false {
        print("Failed to load file.")
        return
    }

    var base64Sig: String? = sb.getBetween(beginMark: "SignatureValue>", endMark: "</")
    print("base64Sig = \(base64Sig!)")

    // -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    // If the XML might contain multiple signatures, but the signatures will always be located in the 
    // same place, then you can (beforehand) copy a sample signed XML into Chilkat's online tool
    // at Generate Parsing Code from XML
    // to get the path to the SignatureValue.  For example, the line of code generated for the SignatureValue
    // for the above XML is:
    // string ds_SignatureValue = xml.GetChildContent("SOAP-ENV:Header|wsse:Security|ds:Signature|ds:SignatureValue");

    // So you can simply use that path..
    let xml = CkoXml()!
    success = xml.loadFile(path: filePath)
    // Assume success..

    base64Sig = xml.getChildContent(tagPath: "SOAP-ENV:Header|wsse:Security|ds:Signature|ds:SignatureValue")
    print("base64Sig = \(base64Sig!)")

    // -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    // Or perhaps you don't know where the signature is located in the XML.
    // You can search for the tag..
    var xSigVal: CkoXml? = xml.search(forTag: xml, tag: "*:SignatureValue")
    if xml.lastMethodSuccess == true {
        print("base64Sig = \(xSigVal!.content!)")
        xSigVal = nil
    }
    else {
        print("No SignatureValue found.")
    }
