Where field is a string..

You can't use regular expression literals in angular expressions (see docs). It means that the closest you can get is creating a regexp object in controller
$scope.regexp = / \d*/;
and then use it in template:
{{ field.replace(regexp, "") }}

if you really want this logic to be in one place only, you can use <div ng-init="regexp = /blah/">{{field.replace(regexp, '!')}}</div>

@ilj No, you can't. One more time: you can't use regular expression literal in Angular expressions.

you're right. not even with ng-init. but you can have a custom filter that parses RegExp from string parameter and applies it.
