If I am right in guessing you want to create a distance between two objects, your cube and your enemy? Try this:

 var dist : float = Vector3.Distance(cube.position, gameObject.FindWithTag("Enemy").transform.position);

Like so Link to the unity docs

I hope this helps!

I assume that you're trying to get the distance between a cube and a GameObject tagged "enemy", so I believe you should do the following:

 var dist : float = Vector3.Distance(cube.position, GameObject.Find("enemy").transform.position);

You can look for gameobjects using that function, and each transform belongs to a gameobject. I also suggest you place the GameObject.Find() outside of the Update() function, for performance reasons.
