Modify Content of a .dat File

I am working on a Flow that takes a .dat file as input and replaces some text inside it. The .dat files are inputs to a program and are readable text. Sample of the input .dat file is attached.

    For some reason, the Get File Data action does not work on the .dat file in the Compose action I had it in, but it does work when creating a new file in SharePoint. I was able to add steps to create a temporary .txt copy of my file and access the contents in a Compose action that way.
