How to highlight a path in Encounter?

Hello,
I am Ananta Majhi, working for NXP semiconductors in Eindhoven,
Netherlands.
My Interest? I got a list of nodes from PrimeTime-synopsys (and/or
ETS-cadence) static timer. I would like to highlight the complete path
(starting from a FF/Q and ending at FF/D) from a DEF file (or GDSII
file).
Can anyone help me in this regard with a short list of commands?
Thanks a lot in advance for your help and cooperation.

Best regards - Ananta Majhi

Based on a list of nets, the short function below will do this

proc hilitePath { nets {color 7} } {
dehiliteAll
deselectAll
redraw
foreach net $nets {
set netPtr [dbGetNetByName $net]
if { $netPtr != "0x0" } {
dbHiliteObj $netPtr $color
dbSelectObj $netPtr
}
}
zoomSelected
}

Example usage : hilitePath {net1 net2 net3}
