Space does not recognize as special character

I have a regular expression to match combination of Lower case upper case and special characters.

 var regLowerUpperSpecilaCase = /^(?=.*[a-z])(?=.*[A-Z])(?=.*[^a-zA-Z0-9])(?!.*\s).{7,50}$/;

Everything seems fine but when i put a space along with the lowercase uppercase and special character it does not recognize and failed. 

inputtxt='aS!a uiuiqw';
inputtxt.match(regLowerUpperSpecilaCase)

Actually i want to match everything instead of digit. but combination must have lower case, upper case and special characters.

Can anybody put some light on it.

Based on your comments, this is what you need:

var myregexp = /^(?=.*[a-z]+)(?=.*[A-Z]+)(?=.*[ !"#$%&\/()=?@.£§€{[\]}]+)(^.{7,50}$)$/;

It will need a combination of, at least, one uppercase, lowercase and special character (including space), with a minimum length of 7 and maximum of 50 characters to validate.

From what I understood, you want to validate a string with at least a lowercase, at least an uppercase, and at least something else (but no digit).

If everything which is not a letter or a digit is a special character (so a space is a special character), try

^(?=.*[a-z])(?=.*[A-Z])(?=.*[^a-zA-Z0-9])[^0-9]+$

If that doesn't suit you, please, please, give examples of strings that should match or shouldn't match. A lot of them. By editing your question.

Good luck.
