Can you export the list as text? If so a bit of
jiggery-pokery in an "Obey" file will do the trick.
The relevant syntax is:

The command enumdir will enumerate a given directory
and send the data to an output file.

*help enumdir will explain more.

But it is not recursive. The OP said "I am trying to
extract all the jpegs from a directory which has a huge
number of sub-directories."

True, which is why I used the phrase, 'given directory'. It
does, however, form the basis for extracting the
information. However, I see now that Locate provides a more
sophisticated and comprehensive route.
