java processbuilder

I would like to pass multiple parameters to a processBuilder and the parameters to be separated by a space.

Here is the command,

String[] command_ary = {dir+"library/crc"," -s ", fileName," ",addressRanges};

I need to provide a space after "fcrc" and after "-p" and in between "filename" and the "addressRange".

Thank you

You don't need to include spaces. The ProcessBuilder will deal with that for you. Just pass in your arguments one by one, without space:

ProcessBuilder pb = new ProcessBuilder(
                         dir + "library/crc",
                         "-s",
                         fileName,
                         addressRanges);
