prefix suffix to each argument

Hi,

I have a variable, which contains comma separated values. Something like.


Code:
StringA="abc,def,ghi,jkl"

I want to apply prefix and suffix to each value in the string without using any loops.

Say if Prefix is Pre_ and Suffix is _Suf then I need to get


Code:
StringA="Pre_abc_Suf,Pre_def_Suf,Pre_ghi_Suf,Pre_jkl_Suf"

How can I achieve this without loops.
