How Can I Find Out The Selected Components Of

[user_deleted]

How can i find out the selected components of a specified object without losing the current selection?

For example,you have two cubes in the scene.You have 2 edges selected for each of the cubes.2 edges on one cube selected and 2 on other selected.

So how can i find out what edges are selected on the first cube only?

maybe a foolish attempt.. but..

CODE
{
    // get selection
    string $sel[] = ls -fl -sl;
    // get shapes of selection
    string $shapes[] = ls -sl -s -dag -o;
    // create an array to store the components of the first shapes
    string $selInFirstShape[];
    // browse the components
    for($x in $sel)
    {
        // get the shape parent of this component
        string $thisShape[] = listRelatives -p $x;
        // if the shape is the first shape store in our array
        if($thisShape[0] == $shapes[0])
            $selInFirstShape[size($selInFirstShape)] = $x;
    }
    // print the array
    print $selInFirstShape;
}
