How to read a string from a file with interpolation

parsing any arbitrary code is probably not a good idea

what about using a Dict and replace:

vars = Dict("me" => "Sam", "you" => "Max")
str = "I am \$me"
for (var, val) in vars
    str = replace(str, "\$"*var => val)
end

although this would cause problems if a variable name contains another variable name (eg if you have $me and $metoo)
