These days I use the ParkTool cable routing kit. Although expensive to buy, it has saved me much frustration over the years I've owned it.
But, before I had that and when a bike didn't have nice, huge open ports, I used to force a small pointy bit of steel, or a tiny allen key head from an old set, into the end of the cable, then use a magnet to catch it near the exit port.
Good luck!

Merry fucking Xmas to you assholes

Thanks Guys. I'll get one. All the bikes are internally routed now and I'm always scared of routing cables...
Park would be nice but would this do the job

String and a vacuum will sort you out.

I have both the Jagwire and Park Tool kits.
The Park kit is the better of the two. I have broken the fittings on the Jagwire kit trying to route a tight been.
Whilst it is supposed to be replaceable there are no parts in Australia.

I have a car related one... Swapping front seatbelts from the wrecked car to the new project, I figured I'd swap them over so the less worn passenger one would be the new drivers - not knowing there is a little widget in them than senses the angle they're on and will lock them if they think the car is upside down or in a ditch.
Spent nearly an hour going mad, trying to wind it in a bit and carefully try to pull out the belt, and dismantling a dead one looking for why they wouldnt pull out - eventually it just needed the little widget swapped side to side and voila. A 5 minute job turned into an hour of frustrated wtf... All they needed was to be held on the right angle as installed originally and they are fine.

I got sunburnt through the air vents a while back.
This should be here too...
Took the bronson for a run after #1 rode it and complained about the brakes. Yep hopelessly contaminated. It was sitting in the shed for a few months while I rode the cannondale instead. Mixture of general miasma and probably aerial wd40 excess from spraying the lathe and mill. Cooked the pads, slathered brakecleen on everything. Hopefully ok until new pads arrive. Bugger - dont store the bikes next to the lathe.

On my aborted morning ride, the Spitty didn’t quite feel itself. Mid ride, I recalled I’d swapped it’s 27.5 wheels onto another bike and banged some 26” wheels on, still with 27.5 dropouts, so was a bit low in BB.
At end of ride, I realised I’d actually just swapped out the front wheel, and it was a reverse (true) mullet
