Find all the pins between two X coordinates

ANNAY

Hi, 

I'm looking for specific pins that are located between two known x coordinates. Is there a command that can give me a list of all those pins? 

I'm looking for an easier way to extract them besides counting and writing their pin names manually. 

Thanks! 

Anna
