How to convert one text string into another, modified text string?

Ok. What I want is to input a string, for example "1234AB5678" and have it output as "A-1234AB5678". This seems like it should be simple but I'm having a heck of a time with it. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Edit: Nevermind, it's a simple Concatenate function.

Hi

Does the conversion have any formula or rule? Or do you want just to add 'A-' behing the input?

So just to clarify the answer for anyone else reading this, the formula would be:

Concatenate("A-", "1234AB5678")

or alternatively, this would work too:

"A-" & "1234AB5678"
