Script troubles

Question

Hello!
Learning scripting and I am running into a wall, I have gathered some stuff from the interwebs and put it together.  My main goal is to run a script that gathers my Application, Security (with Event Ids) and System logs with Error, Critical and warning
levels.  When the log is ran it will export everything to a excel file in my directory of choice.  it seem I am unable to gather more than one even level and more than one log at a time.  I would like all three exported to the excel document.
$opt3 = Read-Host "Would you like to export the details to csv file (Y/N)?"
$server14 = Read-Host "Enter the server name"
[int]$n = Read-Host "Last how many hours events need to be grabbed?"
$event = Read-host "Application / Security / System / Others (Specify the name)?"
$start1 = (Get-Date).addHours(-[int]$n)
$start2 = (Get-Date)
$strdat = (get-date).ToString()
if ($opt3 -eq 'Y') {
If ($event -eq 'Security') {
$entry2 = Read-Host "FailureAudit / SuccessAudit ?"
$location1 = Read-Host "Enter a drive location for the report"
get-eventlog -logname $event -EntryType $entry2 -after $start1 -before $start2 -ComputerName $server14 | Export-csv -Force -Path "$location1\$(Get-Date -Format 'dd_MM_yyyy')-$Event Log-$entry2-$server14.csv"
Invoke-Item "$location1\$(Get-Date -Format 'dd_MM_yyyy')-$Event Log-$entry2-$server14.csv"
else {
$entry0 = Read-Host "Information / Warning / Error ?"
$location2 = Read-Host "Enter a drive location for the report"
get-eventlog -logname $event -EntryType $entry0 -after $start1 -before $start2 -ComputerName $server14 | Export-csv -Force -Path "$location2\$(Get-Date -Format 'dd_MM_yyyy')-$Event Log-$entry0-$server14.csv"
Invoke-Item "$location2\$(Get-Date -Format 'dd_MM_yyyy')-$Event Log-$entry0-$server14.csv"
else {
If ($event -eq 'Security') {
$entry3 = Read-Host "FailureAudit / SuccessAudit ?"
get-eventlog -logname $event -EntryType $entry3 -after $start1 -before $start2 -ComputerName $server14 | Out-GridView
else {
$entry1 = Read-Host "Information / Warning / Error ?"
get-eventlog -logname $event -EntryType $entry1 -after $start1 -before $start2 -ComputerName $server14 | Out-GridView
any help would be appreciated!

Use the new and better event log utility.  Get-EventLog is for pre Vista systems.
$filter=@{
Logname=@('System','Security')
ID=@(20,1014,3095)
Level=@(2,3)
Get-WinEvent -FilterHashTable $filter
