One change, "command &> filename" should be "command &2>1 filename" on most systems. The numbers actually refer to relative file handles (2=STDERR and 1=STDOUT).

I think what you're looking for is a redirect.
 `lspci -v > filename`
This will redirect the output from "lspci -v" into the file "filename" where
you can copy & paste.

The above redirect will only redirect stdout (the normal output). Any error
messages will still be sent to stderr (the console). To redirect stderr you
would also use an ampersand.
 `command &> filename`
This will capture all error messages and standard output in the file
"filename". I uses this all the time to capture error messages from a build
process. Ex: `make &> log`.

A pipe would be used to send the output from one command, to the input of
another.
 `lspci -v | grep ...`
This will send the output from "lspci -v" to grep, where you can use a
regular expression to get the exact piece of the lspci output you're looking
for.
