Below is the code to extract text from current line. You can use same logic to get required indexes and highlight text

    private String getCurrentEditLine() {
        int readBackChars = 100;
        int caretPosition = scriptEditor.getCaretPosition();

        if (caretPosition == 0) {
            return null;
        }

        StyledDocument doc = scriptEditor.getStyledDocument();

        int offset = caretPosition <= readBackChars ? 0 : caretPosition
                - readBackChars;

        String text = null;
        try {
            text = doc.getText(offset, caretPosition);
        } catch (BadLocationException e) {
        }

        if (text != null) {
            int idx = text.lastIndexOf("\n");
            if(idx != -1) {
                return text.substring(idx);
            }else {
                return text;
            }
        }

        return null;
    }
