[xmlsec] Read FAQ 3.4 (XPointer) but still cannot seem to get things to work......

[Steve]

Thanks for the reply Aleksey :-

A dump of the error i receive is pasted below... i think its the XPointer 
problem which you note in the FAQ - but i seem to be misunderstanding 
something fundemental.  I have stepped through the code with a debugger and 
still cannot figure out what command line parameters i must type.  ie--
    xmlsec --verify --id--attr:wsse-c26651c0-c209-11d9-9834-e9a275261f99 
nocert.xml

The output produced by is shown below
    xmlsec --verify nocert.xml > file.txt 2>&1

.. dump of file.txt...
