How to replace actual generated date with sysdate?

Hi,

currently I've a file with the following content:

Code:
insert into CD_CARD_TYP (code, description, last_update_by, last_update_date)
values ('024', '024', 2, to_date('29-03-2008 05:16:09', 'dd-mm-yyyy hh24:mi:ss'));
insert into CD_CARD_TYP (code, description, last_update_by, last_update_date)
values ('032', '032', 2, to_date('24-04-2008 05:17:30', 'dd-mm-yyyy hh24:mi:ss'));
insert into CD_CARD_TYP (code, description, last_update_by, last_update_date)
values ('034', '034', 2, to_date('24-04-2008 05:17:30', 'dd-mm-yyyy hh24:mi:ss'));

I need to replace the date with SYSDATE, i.e.


Code:
insert into CD_CARD_TYP (code, description, last_update_by, last_update_date)
values ('024', '024', 2, sysdate);
insert into CD_CARD_TYP (code, description, last_update_by, last_update_date)
values ('032', '032', 2, sysdate);
insert into CD_CARD_TYP (code, description, last_update_by, last_update_date)
values ('034', '034', 2, sysdate);

how do I change the above?

thanks a lot!
