AppleScript to set "my card" to a defined name or e-mail address in Contacts under OS X 10.12.3

First i must say sorry for my bad english. I come from Germany and i can't find any help or idea for my problem in different Communitys here.

I look and try to write a little script, which one set my card to the person with email address "johndoe@...", or alternatively from the person named "John Doe" Both is ok but i prefer email address.

I hope i can find some help here.

This only one script, which one i found doesn't work.

tell application "Contacts"
activate
try
set my card to people whose first name is "John" and last name is "Doe"
end try
quit
end tell

Thank's for help and greetings Andy

You are pretty close

tell application "Contacts"
    activate
    try
        set my card to 1st person whose first name is "John" and last name is "Doe"
        save
    end try
    quit
end tell

You have to get the 1st person who matches the arguments and you have to save the address book.

Or searching for email

tell application "Contacts"
    activate
    try
        set my card to 1st person whose value of emails contains "[email protected]"
        save
    end try
    quit
end tell
