Bottleneck, and my 31 character limit. Ideas?

Sure it's the insert rule. Rules are described here in detail:

https://hashcat.net/wiki/doku.php?id=rule_based_attack

The first parameter is the offset, the 2nd the actual char to insert. In our case we need multiple inserts:

1, 0, -
1, 1, -
1, 2, -

Aah! I totally missed that. I was looking for a single character 'i' so totally missed the iNX. That leads to more confusion then....

I was looking at the output'ed rule file and the first few lines look like this:

iK1 iL0 iM- iN1 iO1 iP- iQ1 iR2 iS- ] ^[ $]
i01 i10 i2- iN1 iO1 iP- iQ1 iR2 iS- ] ^[ $]
i21 i30 i4- iN1 iO1 iP- iQ1 iR2 iS- ] ^[ $]
i41 i50 i6- iN1 iO1 iP- iQ1 iR2 iS- ] ^[ $]
i61 i70 i8- iN1 iO1 iP- iQ1 iR2 iS- ] ^[ $]

insert character 'K' at postition 1? Inser 'L' at position 0? Is that right? Or are the positions 0-9A-Z to handle 36 positions? The page says "For character positions other than 0-9 use A-Z (A=11)" - is that basically saying "For positions over 9, use A-Z, for a total of 36 possible positions"?

So then next question - the whole reason I'm doing this rule/mask based is that this application I'm working on WILL grow to larger numbers... 0-13, 14, 15, etc - and when that happens the password will be longer than 31 characters, the maximum. Is it not possible to reference a character in a position greater than 36 then?

Thanks a ton for all your help.
