How to get the selected text from webview?

[rahul]

If I holds the finger on a word displayed in web view,
highlight the word with corner anchors to allow
me to stretch the selection across a span of
words. Once a block of text is
highlighted, it gives me the option to copy text.

Can i get that highlighted text without coping it?

Thanks in advance

I'm also interested in knowing this.
Is this possible?

NSString *secim;

secim = [webView stringByEvaluatingJavaScriptFromString:@"(function (){return window.getSelection().toString();})();"];

Note: webView is my UIWebView...

Hope it helps...
