Default Modeling Tool Question

Hey guys quick question....Is there a tool/script similar to using bandsaw to select points instead of polys...select two points next to each other and then it selects all points along those connected polys. Similar to bandsaw but only as a selection tool for points?????
Thanks
Ken
I hope this is understandable

Bannana: this script you select two points and it selects all the points along those vertices (in a line) bandsaw would select each point on each poly you select...so you would then have to deselect half of those points.....
