Parsing char[] to String

Question

I am trying to parse a char[]. Everytime I find a '\n' character I want to take the offset to that position and create a String from it. It doesn't seem to work like expected.. The strings contain parts of the array that shouldn't be there. here is some sample code that I am using. Let me know if anyone has any suggestions..
Thanks
public void parseArray( char[] buf ){
int offset = 0;
Vector v = new Vector();
for( int i=0; i < buf.length; i++ ){
if ( buf[ i ] == '\n' ){
v.add( new String( buf, offset, i ) );
offset = (i +1);
}

Try:
     public Vector parseArray(char buf[]) {
          Vector v = new Vector();
          String s = new String(buf);
          int offset =0, pos;
          do {
               pos = s.indexOf('\n',offset);
               if (pos != -1) {
                    String sub = s.substring(offset, pos);
                    v.add(sub);
                    offset = pos+1;
          } while (pos != -1 && offset < buf.length);
          if (offset < buf.length)
               v.add(s.substring(offset));
          return v;
     }
