negating in a regexp

I'm trying to filter a string to change everything but digits to spaces.

It would seem that


replaceText("ab26 <tab>g9", "^\d",space)


should produce "  26   9", but for the live of me, I can't get ^ to work in
any context.

I've even tried playing with the regex builder plugin, with no success.

Am I missing something simple (again)?

thanks
