I would start with something like (in Edit Metadata (in bulk) -> Search and replace):
Search field: Title
Search for: \(.*\) by \(.*\)
Replace with: \2
Destination field: Author
Note that this will not take any 'by' in the Title into account, so it's very basic.
Assuming this worked, you can do the same with Replace with: \1 and Destination field: Title to update the title.
Again, test whether it does what you want, this is off the top of my head. You will have to fix the author field yourself afterwards (thing like commas instead of & and stuff like that).
