select layout instance using skill

SteveRFIC

Hi,

I want to select all the instances from a single cell in a layout view. 

For instance, I have a cell (Library:xxx,  cell name:xxx). This cell has been placed in many places in a single layout view. I want to select all of them at once, without ctrl clicking everyone. How can I achieve this using SKILL?

Thanks!

    Here is an example:
    cv = geGetEditCellView()
    buffers = setof(x cv~>instances x~>libName == "stdcellLib" && x~>cellName=="buffer")
    mapcar('geSelectFig buffers)
