Syntax to run this on Windows, to add on top of @eikaramba's change, is:

ruby font_grabber.rb "<link href='https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Merriweather:300,400,700' rel='stylesheet'>" > fonts.css

You will want to change to change the regex on line 20 support double quotes.

/href=['"](.*?)['"]/
