Operation on bit strings with different length

Hi!

Do you know how to operate (AND, OR, etc.) on bit strings with
dynamically different length? It is dynamic, means the length won't be
determined until run time.
Is there any function to extend the length of a bit string to a certain
length?

Thank you!
