Returns:
a string containing a comma-separated list of ranges
 o setInstancesIndices
public void setInstancesIndices(java.lang.String rangeList)
          Sets the ranges of instances to be selected. If provided string is null, ranges won't be used for selecting instances.
Parameters:
rangeList - a string representing the list of instances. eg: first-3,5,6-last
