Hi @ZackpadUser ，
I did a test about the '.txt' text file. The easiest way to extract data from other file types is to add the 'action' in the 'Encodian' connector.
I did a test for your reference.
In my scenario:

base64ToString(outputs('Attachment_Content'))

Hope these links are helpful to you:
docs:Extract data from documents with Microsoft Flow - Power Platform Community
excel:Get Rows from Excel – Encodian Customer Help
