macOS Easy Applescript Help?

[nboychuk]

So i'm attempting to "write" my first applescript. It has so far consisted of piecing together other random scripts, and endless Googling. What I would like it to do is read the title of an iCal event (football matches), find the opposing team's name, and set a generic picture (to be used somewhere else) as the team's crest. The folder holding the script also has all of the crests, and the generic picture. I used a script to set a picture to the currently playing iTunes artwork as a start, since I figured it'd be kinda similar .. turns out I just confused myself.

do shell script "ruby -e 'puts File.dirname(\"" & POSIX path of (path to me as string) & "\")'"
set basePath to (POSIX file (the result) as string) & ":"

set picName to " "

tell application "iCal"
	tell calendar "Man Utd"
		set theEvent to first event
		set theName to summary of theEvent
		set theDate to start date of theEvent
	end tell
end tell

if theName contains "Arsenal" then
	set picName to "AFC"
else if theName contains "Aston Villa" then
	set picName to "AVFC"
else if theName contains "Everton" then
	set picName to "EFC"
else if theName contains "FC Porto" then
	set picName to "FCP"
else if theName contains "Hull City" then
	set picName to "HCAFC"
else if theName contains "Man City" then
	set picName to "MCFC"
else if theName contains "Middlesbrough" then
	set picName to "MFC"
else if theName contains "Portsmouth" then
	set picName to "PFC"
else if theName contains "Sunderland" then
	set picName to "SFC"
else if theName contains "Tottenham" then
	set picName to "TH"
else if theName contains "Wigan" then
	set picName to "WAFC"
else if theName contains "Chelsea" then
	set picName to "CFC"
end if

set realCrest to (basePath & picName & ".tif")

tell application "Finder" to set creator type of realCrest to "????"

tell application "Image Events"
	set theImage to open realCrest
	save theImage as TIFF in basePath & "teamCrest.tif" with replacing
end tell

Also .. i can't quite get it to recognize the correct event. Is there any way to pull the next event in a calendar from iCal?

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated!
