You almost certainly don't need to generate a custom.chr file, unless
and until you have more than merely a set of possible characters (but
also probable substrings, etc.) For a mere set of possible characters,
please use mask mode instead. You can do it with:
./john -2='012347BCMPTackpswz!@#$)&' --mask='?2' --min-length=6 --max-length=8 pw
(or with whatever password lengths you actually need to test, etc.)
I hope this helps.
