Finding Revisions of UTC Documents

There is a CGI script that can be used directly to locate documents if you know the document number. The script is called GetMatchingDocs.pl and can be used as illustrated in the examples below. The basic template for the link is:

https://www.unicode.org/cgi-bin/GetMatchingDocs.pl?

As argument, you supply a full document number in the normal format "L2/yy-nnn" and it returns an HTML page that contains links to all matching documents, as shown in the following example:

https://www.unicode.org/cgi-bin/GetMatchingDocs.pl?L2/18-024

The script may return multiple items, since some documents have multiple parts, have both HTML and PDF versions, or have multiple revisions (R2, R3) that are all kept in the registry, as shown in the following examples:

https://www.unicode.org/cgi-bin/GetMatchingDocs.pl?L2/02-066

https://www.unicode.org/cgi-bin/GetMatchingDocs.pl?L2/02-267

Wildcarding with "?" for single digits of the search string is supported. For example, to get a list of documents 320-329 for year 2001:

https://www.unicode.org/cgi-bin/GetMatchingDocs.pl?L2/01-32?

If you give the script a raw 5-digit number it will be interpreted as yy-nnn. If you give it 3 digits, the current year will be assumed.
