JSON Configuration File

The acacialog.py script now supports reading configuration from a JSON file. The JSON configuration file should be named Source/AcaciaLog/acacialog.json and should have the following structure:

{
  "wu": {
    "DIR": "C:\\Windows",
    "FILE": "WindowsUpdate.log",
    "DATE": "(?m)^(\d{4})-(\d{2})-(\d{2})\t(\d{2}):(\d{2}):(\d{2}):(\d{3})\t",
    "ZONED_DATE_TIME": "g1-g2-g3Tg4:g5:g6.g7Z"
  },
  "cbs": {
    "DIR": "C:\\Windows\\Logs\\CBS",
    "FILE": "cbs.log",
    "DATE": "(?m)^(\d{4})-(\d{2})-(\d{2}) (\d{2}):(\d{2}):(\d{2}), ",
    "ZONED_DATE_TIME": "g1-g2-g3Tg4:g5:g6.000Z"
  }
}

The JSON configuration file should contain the same configuration parameters as the INI and properties files. Command line arguments can be used to override the configuration parameters specified in the JSON file.
