Hello.
Which mask should I enter in a field, in order to assume the following types
of values: "11-AA-11" or "11-11-AA"? (note: the numbers and the letters are
examples). I just want to enter "11AA11" or "1111AA", and the mask would do
the rest... Is it possible?
Thank you.
Best regards.

You could force 6 characters all upper case and numbers with a dash at every
group of 2 characters:
