Sed + removes all leading and trailing spaces from each line of a Solaris system

I have a Solaris machine (SunOSsu1a 5.10 Generic_142900-15 sun 4vsparcSUNW, Netra-T2000).

The following sed syntax removes all leading and trailing spaces from each line (I need to remove spaces because this causes application problems).

        sed 's/^[ \t]*//;s/[ \t]*$//' orig_file > new_file

But I noticed that sed also removes the "t" character from the end of each line.

Please advise how to correct the syntax / command of sed to remove only leading and trailing spaces from each line (the solution can also be with Perl or AWK).

Examples (look at the last line - set_host)

1)

Original line before running sed command

   pack/configuration/param[14]/action:set_host

another example (before the launch of the sed)

   +/etc/cp/config/Network-Configuration/Network-Configuration.xml:/cp-pack/configuration/param[8]/action:set_host

2)

line after running sed command

   pack/configuration/param[14]/action:set_hos

another example (after running sed)

   +/etc/cp/config/Network-Configuration/Network-Configuration.xml:/cp-pack/configuration/param[8]/action:set_hos
