assuming that fileparse is adding an observation called 'voltage':

if you just want the current value, do this in your template:

$current.voltage

if you want to retain a history (so it can be displayed in a plot), then 
simply add a 'voltage' column to the database:

sqlite3 /var/lib/weewx/weewx.sdb
sqlite> ALTER TABLE archive ADD voltage REAL;

see the customization guide for details about extending the schema.
