Here's what I'm doing now:

It works fine now but the only problem is that, when grepping files,
it seems the grep command is ignoring "." in front of "f90/pro/csh"
such that every file that has "f90", "pro" or "csh" in its name is
included - not just in the extension. Anyway to avoid this?

'.' is a wildcard character in regular expresssions. Use
'\.f90|\.pro|\.csh'
