You could do something like this:
VB Code:
  1. Dim c As Char
  2. Dim myStr As String = "ABC"
  3. Dim o As String
  4.  
  5. For Each c In myStr  'Tells the computer to do something for each character in the string
  6.      o &= "add something to the string o, can be anything ex. 0010"
  7. Next
