Tcl command to find the ID's of highlighted entities

Hello Ashwin Pinto,

if you do the renumber from the panel with the classic interface, you can get the command for showing the ids once the selection done:

*createmark nodes 1 selection method
*numbersmark nodes 1 1

Hell Michael,

Thanks for the reply, But this command  "*numbersmark nodes 1 1" is used for displaying the Id's numbers and what I m looking for is a command to retrieve the highlighted node ID or add a mark on the highlighted nodes and then retrieve it.

For example : There are commands to add mark on entities by either "-by Id" or "-by name", 

So, I wanted to know if there is any such command like select entity "-by highlight "

Also I m able to highlight entities using (highlightmark node 1"high" ) command, but unable to find anything to retrieve it, considering I don't have the mark Id used for highlight. 

Kindly Let me know your thoughts, 

Thanks & Regards,

Ashwin
