Certainly -- this is possible in any general-purpose language.

Think of the individual characters in the line as e.g. poker chips,
lined up in order.  How would you hand these poker chips to somebody,
one at a time in reverse order?  Once you can describe that process in
detail you can write the code.

BTW, if you don't know what poker chips are there in .de, just think of
individual squares of paper with single characters written on them...
