awk to output lines less than number

I am trying to output all lines in a file where $7 is less than 30. The below code does create a result file, but with all lines in the original file. The original file is tab deliminated is that the problem? Thank you Smilie.

Code:
 awk 'BEGIN{FS=OFS=","} $7 < 30 {print}' file.txt > result.txt

file.txt
Code:
chr1    40539722    40539865    chr1:40539722-40539865    PPT1    1    159
chr1    40539722    40539865    chr1:40539722-40539865    PPT1    2    161
chr1    40539722    40539865    chr1:40539722-40539865    PPT1    3    161
chr1    40539722    40539865    chr1:40539722-40539865    PPT1    3    28

Desired result.txt
Code:
 chr1    40539722    40539865    chr1:40539722-40539865    PPT1    3    28

It was the FS=OFS="'," .... should be OFS="/t" , guess I need to pay more attention. FS is Field seperator and OFS is Output Field Seperator, right? Thank you Smilie.

JOIN(1) 						      General Commands Manual							   JOIN(1)

NAME
join - relational database operator SYNOPSIS
join [ options ] file1 file2 DESCRIPTION
Join forms, on the standard output, a join of the two relations specified by the lines of file1 and file2. If file1 is `-', the standard input is used. File1 and file2 must be sorted in increasing ASCII collating sequence on the fields on which they are to be joined, normally the first in each line. There is one line in the output for each pair of lines in file1 and file2 that have identical join fields. The output line normally con- sists of the common field, then the rest of the line from file1, then the rest of the line from file2. Fields are normally separated by blank, tab or newline. In this case, multiple separators count as one, and leading separators are dis- carded. These options are recognized: -an In addition to the normal output, produce a line for each unpairable line in file n, where n is 1 or 2. -e s Replace empty output fields by string s. -jn m Join on the mth field of file n. If n is missing, use the mth field in each file. -o list Each output line comprises the fields specifed in list, each element of which has the form n.m, where n is a file number and m is a field number. -tc Use character c as a separator (tab character). Every appearance of c in a line is significant. SEE ALSO
sort(1), comm(1), awk(1) BUGS
With default field separation, the collating sequence is that of sort -b; with -t, the sequence is that of a plain sort. The conventions of join, sort, comm, uniq, look and awk(1) are wildly incongruous. JOIN(1)
