Hey,

You could use something like this. Using backticks will return the results of the command. Stuff those results in an array, and you can access the create node regardless of a name change of the transform node.

string $queryTextField = "myCube";

string $cube[] = `polyCube -w 1 -h 1 -d 1 -n $queryTextField`;

setAttr ($cube[1] + ".width") 2;
setAttr ($cube[1] + ".height") 2;
setAttr ($cube[1] + ".depth") 2;

Good luck!
