Yes, but the length of the mask changes, how can I add a constant character at the end without knowing the exact length of the password?

example:

?l?d
?l?l?d
?l?l?ld
?l?l?l?l?d

etc..

?u?&
?u?l,u?&
?u?l,u?l,u?&
?u?l,u?l,u?l,u?&
?u?l,u?l,u?l,u?l,u?&
?u?l,u?l,u?l,u?l,u?l,u?&
?u?l,u?l,u?l,u?l,u?l,u?l,u?&

is that right?

I'm totally confused((((

I have a password - I know that it starts with "pass1" then comes a capital letter? then some number of letters big and small and ends with "&".
etc..
