        driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(2, TimeUnit.MINUTES);

        // Verify the insfocus system center page has been opened or not by
        // xpath//

        if (driver.findElement(By.xpath("/html/body/table/tbody/tr[1]/td/h1")) != null) {

Answer 1

Just call clear() method before your calling sendKeys("your text").

This should work.

Answer 2

Just use the clear function before passing the value to the webelement

WebElement userName = driver.findElement(By.name("username"));

userName.clear();

userName.sendKeys("pra");

Same way you can use for all the elements.

Answer 3

ok i can't even be bothered trying to read a 7 million line long main method

1) refactor it in to separate logical methods (responsibility driven design)

2) when you have done that post us the code responsible for your issues

3) maybe look at assigning the value you want to search on to a temporary variable so you can find it again?
