I used https://www.bitaddress.org/
to create a wallet
and I use BIP38 Encrypt, I have the Passphrase , and I have the full public Address
but I missing 1 character from the private key (I have 57 instead of 58 characters)
I download and install "btcrecover-master"

Take a look here: https://asktom.cf/index.php?topic=5214021.0
I *think* that should be able to get you what you need.
Do you know the position of the missing character?

It should be 2 rows of 29 letter each
I have one row with 28 and the other with 29 , so it narrow it down....

I'll just clarify this part as heads up to those who use BTCRecover.

Yes your hunch is correct.
The only related args are --bip38-enc-privkey which takes a valid BIP38 private key and --bip38-currency which defaults to bitcoin.
BTCRecover can only bruteforce the BIP38 encrypted private key's password with the tokenlist but not the missing characters from the encrypted private key itself.
