Have you tried with expressions?! Check the example file.

Of course, but I suggest you make a move to learn some basic expressions cause it'll make your life really easy. Imagine you want to use the distance between 2 points to drive the scale of another object or the amount particles generated in a POP net… even with the measure SOP you'll still need a bit of expression writing to get that distance value outta there and procedurally into another node or attribute. Unless, of course, you just need to know the distance for your own sake.
I haven't gotten into python as it pertains houdini, so I still use a lot of Hscript expressions and all. If you want to learn more I found this series to be quite helpful:

You can find distance between two points using distance calculator [distancebetweencities.us], To calculate distance between two points Google maps are the best option. So, try Google maps.

It should be in whatever the default unit is… so if you altered the default unit to 1Km instead of the default metre, then you get the value in Kms.
Shouldn't be too hard to add controls to convert measurements, I might do that later on tonight
Cheers

that link did not work. I just started learning Houdini, would this link be pertaining to expressions or python?
