[Spotlight] searching on a remote Volume and printing results

Question

Morning.
I want to search on /Volumes/Server$ for all files with the extension .tex created after 2008-30-04 and print the results in a list containing the full paths of all items.
How can I do that?
TIA and kind regards, Friedrich

Hi glsmith, I had been playing around with that sort of command (among many other approaches) to get a find by size, and then the files sorted in order by size, since you can no longer do that thing with Spotlight. Anyway, while had done a pipe to sort, and had also fooled around with various approaches to get a text file output, I had not used xargs (because I know nothing about it, except some commands I have copied from here and there use it). So I was curious about your command, and tried this:
NoobiX:~ francine$ mdfind -0 -onlyin ~ 'kMDItemFSSize > 209715200' | xargs -0 ls -l | sort -n > ~/Desktop/Greatersearch.txt
Works fine. But I'm curious about the "-0" option. What is it for? Is it to get a decent text formatting scheme?
