Subject: Interpolating a string loaded from a text file

Hoping you guys can help out here.  Is there any way to interpolate a
string that is loaded dynamically?

I know that in Ruby I can do this:

my_message = 'Hello World'
my_template = "The message is #my_message"
puts my_template <== The message is Hello World

But what I want to do is

my_message = 'Hello World'
my_template =
File.readlines('my_template_file.txt').HOW-CAN-I-FORCE-INTERPOLATION???
puts my_template <== The message is Hello World


Anyone have any ideas?  Or am I missing something blatantly obvious?

TIA
