Makes a rectangular selection — Photoshop script

makeSelection.jsx

// x, y, width, height
// x & y position from top left corner of document 
// width & height of selection
// 
// makeSelection(10,50,200,100);
function makeSelection(x,y,sw,sh){
    app.activeDocument.selection.select([ [x,y], [x,y+sh], [x+sw,y+sh], [x+sw,y] ]);  
}

extended version with units as parameter, because in my ps installation first script worked only with pixels (I needed in cm)

function makeSelection(x,y,sw,sh,strInUnit){ //makeSelection(x,y,sw,sh,"cm")
	var ysh=new UnitValue (parseFloat(y+sh), strInUnit);
	var xsw=new UnitValue (parseFloat(x+sw), strInUnit);
    app.activeDocument.selection.select([ [x,y], [x,ysh], [xsw,ysh], [xsw,y] ]);  
}
