Adding an * to a renge of cells

[Guest]

I AM COMBINING 4 CELLS TOGETHER IN ONE CELL TO CREATE A BAR CODE. I NEED TO
ADD AN * BEFORE THE FIRST AND LAST NUMBER. ANY SUGGESTIONS??

EX. OF FORMULA AS IS NOW

HA128373VENDORXL1PC19000 - ALL IN BARCODE

I NEED THE BAR CODE TO READ

Before the first character and after the last?
