Searching Spotlight with ruby

[Filipe]

Is it possible to search for files using spotlight in ruby just like
it's done on the terminal with the command 'mdfind'?

You can run any terminal command in ruby (and capture the output) via
a variety of mechanisms. Does that not do what you need?

For sure. How do I go about running terminal commands and getting
their outputs?
I'm new to this ruby thing.

Thanks in advance

Easiest way is output=`command`
