Can You Limit Rule Candidate Lengths?

[Ruthless11042541]

I'm not sure if this is possible, and I'm still pretty new to hashcat, but is it possible to limit the length of candidates after rules have been applied to a wordlist and reject the rest?

For example, say my wordlist has words varying from 2-20 characters in length. Is there a way that hashcat can only apply the rules in my .rule file to them if the candidate will be between 8-12 characters?

I saw this post, but I'm not exactly sure how the answer works:

What would I really put after

Code:

hashcat /home/user/Desktop/Wordlists/wordlist.txt -r myrule.rule --stdout | len 8 12 |

if I were to use it?

Thanks for the help!
