access row and column number in variable editor

How can I access the row- and columnnumbers of one (or more) selected entries in a vector, displayed in the variable editor? The information is shown in the toolstrip on the screen, but how can I get these information via command window?

edit: I need to get the selected range, not the data inside this range

example:

XX = rand(10);

now I open the variable editor and select manually the rows 3 to 7 and comlumns 4 and 6. Now I need a function which output is:

selectedRows = 3,4,5,6,7

selectedColumns = 4,6

Access it with the index of your data.

XX = rand(10);

edit with the vriable editor and select some part:

then, in Matlab :

>> XX(3:7,[4,6])

ans =

      0.2769    0.6551
      0.0462    0.1626
      0.0971    0.1190
      0.8235    0.4984
      0.6948    0.9597
