Manipulate time variable in javascript - add hours to time variable

Question

I am getting data by using a json file and one of the variable is about time, like 19:00, as GMT+0. If i would like to convert this to GMT+2, i will need to add 2, but i couldnt figure out how... I am trying to do this in a Titanium project.

Isn't json returning an ascii text value? If so, can't you just replace the +0 with a +2? — Chizl, Mar 28 '13 at 20:41
no, the variable is just "19:00", how can i edit it so that it become "21:00" as gmt+2? — Tel4tel, Mar 28 '13 at 20:46

var time = "19:00";
function incHour(t,hr){ return parseInt(hr) + 2; }
time = time.replace( /^(\d{1,2})/, incHour );
