How to check if a input value does / doesnt contain REGEX characters

Question

trying to write a password validator using jquery:

my password element is:

           <input type="password" id="passwordTxtBox" class="form-control form-control-lg" pattern="(?=.*\d)(?=.*[a-z])(?=.*[A-Z]).{8,}" aria-describedby="passwordHelpBlock" name="Password" required>

my jquery code is:

$("#passwordTxtBox").keyup(function () {

    var upperCase = new RegExp('[A-Z]');
    var lowerCase = new RegExp('[a-z]');
    var numbers = new RegExp('[0-9]');
    var special = new RegExp('/[^a-zA-Z0-9- ]*$/');

    if ($(this).val().length < 9 && $(this).val().length != 0) {
        console.log("not long enough");
    }
    else if (!$(this).val().match(upperCase)) {
        console.log("not uppercase");
    }
    else if (!$(this).val().match(lowerCase)) {
        console.log("not lowercase");
    }
    else if (!$(this).val().match(numbers)) {
        console.log("no numbers");
    }
    else if (!$(this).val().match(special)) {
        console.log("no specials");
    }
    else if ($(this).val().length >= 8 ) {
        console.log("length is fine");
    }
    else if ($(this).val().match(upperCase)) {
        console.log("contains uppercase");
    }
    else if ($(this).val().match(lowerCase)) {
        console.log("contains lowercase");
    }
    else if ($(this).val().match(numbers)) {
        console.log("contains numbers");
    }
    else if ($(this).val().match(special)) {
        console.log("contains specials");
    }
});

its important that each console log is fired off separately, so i have to read each regex rule separately

however when I fire this off, only the console.logs for the negative cases fire

i.e console.log("not long enough"); console.log("not uppercase");console.log("no numbers");

etc

the instances where the input does contain those characters, the console logs are never fired.

what am i doing wrong?
