Albert's suggestion is probably your best bet at the least amount of work. First, create a custom fact that pulls that line out of your file. https://docs.puppetlabs.com/facter/3.1/custom_facts.html.
Next, your template would have a placeholder for that item. my_template.erb ...usual_template... <%= @my_custom_fact %> ---remaining_template... This isn't a great solution but it's probably the easiest way to solve your problem quickly. I would not do this if that line is huge (some encoded binary blob or something).
