Puppet users - Feb 2014 - How to apply template based on a string in a file

Newbie question:  
I need to be able to apply a specific template based on whether a string is 
found in an 
existing file on the client or not. I tried the following (found an example 
somewhere... it does not work.. always falls into the first condition)

What would be the correct way to check for the value in the file?


 if "grep STANDARD /var/adm/buildIT/ServerBuild.dat 2>/dev/null"
    {
      file { '/etc/openssh/sshd_config':
        ensure  => file,
        backup  => false,
        content => template("sshdconfig/sshdconfigsol.erb"),
        notify => Service['ssh']
      }

      service { 'ssh':
        ensure => running,
        enable => true,
        hasstatus => true,
        hasrestart => true,
      }
    }
    else
    {
      file { '/etc/openssh/sshd_config':
        ensure  => file,
        backup  => false,
        content => template("sshdconfig/sshdconfigsolpm.erb"),
        notify => Service['ssh']
      }

      service { 'ssh':
        ensure => running,
        enable => true,
        hasstatus => true,
        hasrestart => true,
      }
  }
