That one is broken and I need to order a new one - will any old brake/gear shifting wire do, or do I need to run to find one that is specific to the model bike (Fuji-Diamondback hybrid)

Any MTB cable kit will do. Here is a decent cheap one that comes with front and rear cables and housings:

You will want a specific derailleur cable set. Ideally with housing and ferrules.

Follow the cable all the way back to the shifter and remove it at that end. The end that sits in the shifter will have a specific shaped stopper. Bring the cable in to a bike shop so you can get the right thing.
