In jquery input mask, We can specify number and letter. How to get the format where user can input letter or number,
A = Letter, 9 = number.
I need a mask like this AA - (A or 9)(A or 9) - 99,
For example, it can be AA-99-99
and in another case it can be AA-A9-99, or
AA-AA-99,
and so on. I have tried a lot, not suitable.
Please advise.

Reset to default 4As you noted * stands for alphanumeric character, so AA-**-99 should do the job.
Or you could use regexp lik [A-Za-z]{2}-\w{2}-\d{2}, but it looks like regex placeholders like \w are not supported like this. Enclosing it to square brackets works ok:
<input id="example2" data-inputmask-regex="[A-Za-z]{2}-[\w]{2}-\d{2}" />
Here is a working plunker: https://plnkr.co/edit/SDkFm5VChO7W19VuOXmK?p=preview
From the docs, you can use this method.
The regex AA-([A]|[9])([A]|[9])-99 will match your situation of numbers/letters.
HTML
<input id="example2" data-inputmask-regex="AA-([A]|[9])([A]|[9])-99" />
Javascript
(function() {
$("#example2").inputmask();
})();
If by A you mean exactly the letter A and by 9 exactly the number 9, then this should work for you:
$("#myinput").inputmask({mask:"[AA]-[A|9]{2}-[99]"});
