Puppet users - Sep 2014 - Trouble extracting raw data from custom fact

Hi,
I'm new to puppet and hope somebody can help me. I have a master server 
with a few Mac and Windows Agents. I created a custom fact for windows that 
will show the current logged in users Sid. I have a manifest that will edit 
the HK Users registry Keys. My issue is when I run the agent it fails 
because it wants to place the header and other stuff not needed from the 
string in the path. I need the Sid only for it to work. It works if I 
manually insert the Sid. I'm thinking my answer is regsubst but I really 
don't know much about it. what I need to do is remove the first few 
characters and the last few. Can anyone help me out or point me in a 
direction? Or is there something I can do in my fact.rb to only show the 
raw data? Thank you in advance this one has me pulling out my hair.
Gary
