    // 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:
    Get Create (RefClass(cComChilkatStringBuilder)) To hoSb
    If (Not(IsComObjectCreated(hoSb))) Begin
        Send CreateComObject of hoSb
    End

    // 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..

    Get ComGetChildContent Of hoXml "SOAP-ENV:Header|wsse:Security|ds:Signature|ds:SignatureValue" To sBase64Sig
    Showln "base64Sig = " sBase64Sig

    // -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    // Or perhaps you don't know where the signature is located in the XML.
    // You can search for the tag..
