Ace Editor get current selected line number and text

Question

I\'m currently using Ace Editor, but I couldn\'t find anything in the docs along the lines of retrieving the current selected line number and its text.

Any ideas?

You can do this:

selectionRange = editor.getSelectionRange();

startLine = selectionRange.start.row;
endLine = selectionRange.end.row;

content = editor.session.getTextRange(selectionRange);
