prioritize the characters - arash - 07-10-2021

hi, is it possible to prioritize the character type?
for example: the password length is 7 and im not sure what type the third character is, but i want to first crack it as digit and if its not craked, then crack the rest of types for the third character. 
sorry for my bad english
thanks

I'm not sure to really understand what you exactly want to to, but from what I understand I would suggest using a maskfile (see: https://hashcat.net/wiki/doku.php?id=mask_attack#hashcat_mask_files), with on the first line your mask with ?d for your 3rd char, and on the second line using a charset made of ?u?l?s (or whatever else you want) for the 3rd char.
