PIC16F946 code to measure time between two edges

I am nor familiar with the architecture of your specific controller, but generally you could do it like this
Prescale your timer 0 to a desired value
Setup interrupt on RB0 to positive edge
In interrupt routine do this
read timer 0 into a variable, say "t"
clear timer 0
now compute this
Code: 
    char t = get_timer0();
    float time = ((t * [your prescaler]) / (crystal_value/4); //this time is in seconds
 

I am now trying with CCP,how to save old time and subtract with new value.
If possible can you give me code to configure CCP and to measure time between two edges...8-O

is below code is correct????
int CCP1
void isr(void)
{
value = value-CCPR1; //CCPR1 holds the new time
}
 

Please refer to "PIC Microcontrollers and Embedded Systems Using Assembly and C" by Muhammed Ali Mazidi. It has an example of that.
